While a number of successful podcasts have come out in the past few years, The Joe Rogan Experience is far and away the biggest one. A huge number of fans wait to tune into each new episode and many people praise Rogan's interviewing style as he's casual yet gets into a wide variety of topics in every single podcast. There's a lot to know about how Rogan runs his podcast, including how he figures out who he wants to interview next.
After Tucker Carlson learned that he would no longer be hosting his Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight, news stories came out saying that he wanted to be a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience. It seems that Joe Rogan said no. Here's whether Carlson and Rogan are actually friends and how they really feel about each other.
Have Tucker Carlson And Joe Rogan Ever Been Friends?
Before Tucker Carlson lost his job at Fox News in the spring of 2023, he conducted a lot of eventful interviews. Jimmy Kimmel criticized his Donald Trump interview, which is just one example.
If Carlson was a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, the conversation would likely be just as unforgettable. It's easy to picture Carlson and Joe Rogan having a long discussion about many different subjects.
But it doesn't seem like Carlson is going to be a guest on Rogan's podcast, at least not for now. Since The Joe Rogan Experience is such a massive platform, it makes sense that Carlson would want to appear on it. Did Carlson want to be a podcast guest because he's pals with Rogan, though?
There isn't any evidence that Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan were ever friends. It's also unclear if they have met. It seems like perhaps their paths might have crossed at one point or another since they are both public figures. But then again, Joe Rogan seems to be fairly private despite the wealth and public profile that he has gotten thanks to his podcast. They might not have had the opportunity to meet in person.
They do seem to think positively about each other, though. Since Carlson wants to be interviewed by Rogan, he must be a fan, or he must at least think that Rogan's podcast is a good one.
Whenever Joe Rogan has talked about Tucker Carlson, it sounds like he is a fan as well. According to Newsweek, when Brian Stelter talked about Carlson and Alex Jones on CNN and said Carlson was "a conspiracy monger," Rogan responded. He said on his podcast, "Both men were saying things that are logical."
According to The Toronto Sun, the podcast host also thinks that Carlson could be successful politically. He said Carlson could win a Presidential election: “If Tucker went to run in 2028, he could win. He really could win."
Why Did Joe Rogan Allegedly Say No To Tucker Carlson Being A Podcast Guest?
A few months ago, Tucker Carlson was reportedly interested in appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience. The Daily Mail reported that Joe Rogan said no to an interview with Carlson.
According to The Daily Mail, a source said that Carlson didn't get a real response about why he couldn't be on the podcast.
The source said that he was hoping that he could talk about being let go from Fox. It sounds like Carlson was disappointed about not being booked as a podcast guest, at least based on what this source has said.
A source explained, "Tucker wanted it to happen. His people reached out to Rogan's team saying he wanted to come on, he was willing to reveal what went down at Fox, the firing, the aftermath, everything. They went through producers, his close colleagues, all the right people, and got absolutely no response. This has been going on for weeks and weeks. Even Rogan's friends are starting to ask, what is he doing?"
The Daily Mail also reported that the podcast host's response was perplexing because he once said during an episode that he would like to talk to Carlson on his show. Rogan said, "He was one of the only guys who was going against the corporate narrative."
Joe Rogan hasn't said whether he actually said no to Tucker Carlson. Unless he makes a public statement, people can only speculate about what really happened. Since Rogan did say that he would want to chat with Carlson, maybe he does want the interview to happen sometime in the future. It's possible that since Rogan records so many podcast episodes, he plans his content ahead of time. He might have a lot of interviews lined up and he doesn't have any room in his schedule to interview Carlson.
What Has Joe Rogan Said About Tucker Carlson?
While it remains to be seen if Joe Rogan will say yes to Tucker Carlson being a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience in the future, the podcast host has commented on what the recently fired Fox News host should do now that he no longer has his show.
According to Essentially Sports, Rogan talked about Carlson's next career move in episode 1977. He was chatting with Dave Smith, and the conversation turned to Carlson.
Rogan said of what Carlson should focus on: "It's gotta be the internet. He'd be crazy to do anything other."
Rogan also said that Carlson and Rumble could team up. Rogan thinks that would be a very lucrative idea. He said, “Do you have any idea how f**king big that would be? How big his show- It could make that app. It could make that platform. I mean, if Tucker Carlson goes over there, it would be worth it for them to invest a considerable amount of money in him."
If Joe Rogan ever did interview Tucker Carlson on The Joe Rogan Experience, it would likely be a very memorable episode.
